Patient Care Assistant (Daytime)

 

Granta Veterinary Specialists – Linton, Cambridgeshire
Full-time

 

Our Patient Care Assistants are at the heart of everything we do. They’re the people who keep things moving on the wards — caring for our patients, supporting our nurses and vets, preparing equipment, and helping the hospital run smoothly day to day.

 

This is a hands-on, practical role in a busy, independent referral centre, where teamwork, kindness and common sense matter just as much as experience.

 

What makes this role special

 

  • You’ll care for a varied referral caseload, from new admissions through to recovery and discharge 
  • You’ll be part of a friendly, close-knit daytime team where everyone helps each other out 
  • You’ll play a key role in maintaining the high standards of care we’re proud of 

What we’re looking for

 

  • Someone caring, reliable and proactive 
  • A strong team player with good communication skills 
  • Experience in animal care is preferred but not essential 
  • A genuine love of animals — and a willingness to muck in when needed 

The practical bits

 

  • Full-time role 
  • Monday to Friday, between 7.30am and 6.30pm 
  • 8-hour shifts 
  • 1:4 weekends 

What you’ll get

 

  • Competitive pay 
  • Holiday allowance plus your birthday off 
  • Free fruit 
  • A supportive, welcoming team in an independent, vet-led referral centre
